The CBS show NCIS has had their characters kill people in cold blood quite a few times. This post attempts to create a list of victims who have either been killed in cold blood directly by a “good guy” or indirectly via ploys by the “good guys.”
Needless to say, there are spoilers below.
- Pedro Hernandez - the assassin who killed Gibbs’ wife and child - by Gibbs (numerous, Borderland)
- Arcady Kobach - gun smuggler - by Franks, after he had dropped his gun, while Gibbs was watching, no charges (episode Faking It)
- Cesar Bernal - set up by Gibbs and team to be killed by his gang, La Vida Mala (episode Iced)
- Hans Staiger - by the father of a murder victim, based on information given to him by Gibbs (episode Tribes)
- La Grenouille - by Jenny Sheppard (episode Internal Affairs)
- Russian hitman's handler - by Franks (episode Judgement Day Part 2) (questionable)
- Captain Joseph L. Norton - by Joann Fielding (Shannon Gibbs' mother) (episode Mother's Day)
